The current El Niño event is characterized by a significant 3-degree Celsius anomaly in the equatorial central Pacific, which is well above the 2-degree Celsius threshold for a 'very strong' event. This strong warming, combined with constant monitoring systems and accumulated knowledge from measuring past El Niño events, enables the World Meteorological Organization to predict its global impacts, including floods and droughts.
